Psalms 31:12-13

Context

31:12 I am forgotten, like a dead man no one thinks about; 1 

I am regarded as worthless, like a broken jar. 2 

31:13 For I hear what so many are saying, 3 

the terrifying news that comes from every direction. 4 

When they plot together against me,

they figure out how they can take my life.

Psalms 88:4-6

Context

88:4 They treat me like 5  those who descend into the grave. 6 

I am like a helpless man, 7 

88:5 adrift 8  among the dead,

like corpses lying in the grave,

whom you remember no more,

and who are cut off from your power. 9 

88:6 You place me in the lowest regions of the pit, 10 

in the dark places, in the watery depths.

Ezekiel 37:11

Context

37:11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are all the house of Israel. Look, they are saying, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope has perished; we are cut off.’
